01 — Typography
Set in two hands
Display is set in Instrument Serif by Instrument — a transitional serif with quiet italics and a characterful ampersand. Body copy uses Geist by Vercel, a neo-grotesque sans that stays legible at small sizes. Metadata and labels use JetBrains Mono, because every atelier deserves a stamp from the workshop floor.
02 — Palette
Paper, ink, sienna
The background is a warm cream (#F5F1EA) recalling
pressed paper. Text is set in near-black with a slight warmth
(#1A1814) to avoid the cold of pure black on light
backgrounds. The single accent is burnt sienna (#8B2C1C),
used sparingly as a period, a mark, or an arrow — never as a
background.
03 — Texture
A breath of noise
A fine SVG noise overlay is applied in multiply mode across the whole surface. It's nearly invisible but it's there — a subtle grain that keeps the page from feeling flat and reminds the eye that this is an object, not a rectangle.
04 — Stack
Built with
This site is built with Astro (static output,
zero JavaScript by default), Tailwind CSS v4
(with a custom theme), and TypeScript. Fonts are
self-hosted via @fontsource. It is deployed to Cloudflare Pages and served from the edge.
The whole thing is deliberately small: no analytics, no cookies, no JavaScript beyond what Astro generates for interactivity.
